Eric Burdon & The animals
Here is another favourite song of mine, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, by the great Eric Burdon and The Animals. Quoting from Wikipedia, “The Animals were an English music group of the 1960s known in the United States as part of the British Invasion. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song “The House of the Rising Sun”, the band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes and emerged as an exponent of psychedelic rock before dissolving at the end of the decade”.
The song I have chosen has been covered by a great number of singers, but I would rather have Eric Burdon’s version any time. You can watch the video below or do this listening comprehension activity. I hope you enjoy it.
